Michael Marten is a seascape and landscape photographer with an interest in tides, seasons, and other natural phenomena.
Born in London, Michael Marten started taking photographs as a teenager and has been involved with photography ever since. His first job was caption writer at the Camera Press photo agency. In 1973 he was one of a group who published ‘An Index of Possibilities’, an alternative encyclopedia of ideas. In 1979 he started the specialist photo agency, Science Photo Library. He has co-authored several books of scientific imagery, including ‘Worlds Within Worlds’ (1978) and ‘The Particle Odyssey’ (2002).
Since 2003 Michael has concentrated on landscape photography. His first major series was ‘Sea Change’ (2003-12). A second project, ‘Godrevy’, was exhibited and published in 2015.
I chose some of his photos which could link to areas of Jersey. This means I can create a similar look to his work.
This photo in particular reminds me of the boats going out to Elizabeth Castle
Remember to create a blog post on Gustave Le Gray and his approach to creating manipulated images of the ocean and surroundings.
This is useful for you from a photographic history angle too !
Try time lapse / creating gifs from tidal pathways eg Green Island / Portelet etc too
